[Verse 1: Isaiahraps]
Yo
As I look into your eyes I can see the fire rage
Then I see your lips burning, just yearning to be engaged
I give you my softest kiss and ask if you can believe it?
You answer simply, "yes", solemn but not defeated
Words whispered in my ear, now a secret I'm entrusted
Dancing embers in your eyes emblematic of how our lust is
Strange, without restraint, the way Pica**o used to paint
We don't control each other just two lovers, no complaints
Now as I rip off your clothes I'm like a little kid at Christmas
Ready to receive the only gifton my wish list
Studying your form, eithout the clothes you once adorned
Saying my name under your breath, with your dress torn
[Hook: The Mountain Goats]
I can see you now
As though through a screen
Smile on your face
And fingers dripping kerosene
(repeat)
[Verse 2: Isaiah]
I can just picture you now, hands covered in lighter fluid
Bout to set this house on fire and you ask me, should we do it?
Well in my mind I know it was never up to me
We've been doomed since day one, it was never hard to see
You only paused a moment, just to take a look around
Then you whisper in my ear, "Lets burn this motherf**er down"
Now the house is ablaze and we both stare amazed
It's something full of glory, this fire at which we gaze
And we've never shined so bright, so much beauty inside her
The experience we shared just serves as a reminder
I've always felt naive, like I was just born
Now you're standing outside with your dress torn
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Isaiah]
It's so difficult for me to see you and not care
I'm barely used to waking up Without seeing you there
You say I never gave a f**, that's so far from the truth
You know so much about me yet you seem so far removed
At the end of the day, I still consider it a pleasure
It was the best of times, the time we spent together
Predictably however, good things don't always last
Watching the fire grow I hold back tears, trying not to laugh
Because it's funny after all. after all that we've been through
Hoping whomever you choose sees half the beauty I do
I'll watch from birds eye view as I weather the storm
You look so alive With your dress torn
[Hook]
